Day care centre
If we look back a few years, most women were busy in household affairs and caring for the children. Now women are participating in every sector and working side by side with the men. They manage both their family and work. However, they can't work with a tension free mind because they are not able to look after their children properly. Sometimes they are compelled to give up work for the sake of their kids.
I can recall my recent past when I worked in an NGO which entailed donor visits for appraisal. My two kids were very little then and there was no reliable person to look after them. Finding no other way I had to leave them with my governess. After returning home, sometimes I saw that they had not taken their meals or had gotten seriously injured. I became ill but was helpless because I was very hard up and had to work for a living.
As a working mother I feel very strongly the need for a day care centre to ameliorate my problem. I believe, under such conditions no mother can fully concentration on her work. My female colleagues, like me, are suffering as much. I, on behalf of all working mothers, strongly demand setting up of day care centres so that we can concentrate more on our office work.
